For a very long time, solar energy has been one of the cleanest and most readily available energy sources available to humanity. Due to the advantages of solar energy, several nations are moving toward achieving success in their use of solar systems for energy generation. Most of India receives 300 sunny days per year and 4–7 kWh of solar radiation per square meter each day. When used effectively, this energy may significantly lessen both the need for fossil fuels and the amount of carbon dioxide released during the energy production process. Additionally, it will close the energy demand gap nationwide, including in rural areas with sparse energy supplies.

The goal of a large-scale subsidy scheme passed in February to assist Indian people in installing rooftop solar panels on their houses and flats is to add 30 gigawatt hours of solar electricity to the country's energy supply. Estimates indicate that the PM-Surya Ghar project would supply free power to 10 million families. Additionally, the process of installation and payment will be streamlined through the creation of a national site, which may be compared to Healthcare.gov for solar panels. India was severely lagging behind schedule in its anticipated rooftop solar installations, which is why the initiative was created. Although the sun is extremely harsh and unforgiving in many areas of the subcontinent, rooftop solar power output in India peaked in 2022 at 11 gigawatts, falling 29 gigawatts short of a national target set ten years earlier.

One of the challenges lies in the fact that installing a solar array on your home required consent from many departments and authorities, often requiring up to 21 signatures. Aside from this nightmare of red tape, installation costs sometimes exceeded $5,000, which is more than half the typical monthly income of an Indian working citizen. Subsidies under PM-Surya Ghar will pay up to 60% of the installation expenses of a two-kilowatt solar array, with the amount dropping to 40% for arrays three kilowatts or more. Families in need will benefit from loans with interest rates of about 7% to get started. For the project, 750 billion Indian rupees, or $9 billion, have been allocated.

Solar users report saving hundreds of dollars on their summertime electricity bills, even in New Delhi, where days might be spent shrouded in clouds and fog. One apartment, for example, reported saving $700 on monthly energy expenditures. The Indian solar sector is thought to have the potential to grow significantly because to PM-Surya Ghar. Government subsidies guarantee that businesses' client base may expand beyond the reach of average household income, and they eliminate the need for them to rush through the planning and permission processes.

Additional attributes of the plan consist of : 

• Every district in the nation will see the creation of "model solar villages," which will act as role models for rural communities looking to adopt rooftop solar.
• Incentives to encourage rooftop solar installations in their regions would also assist Panchayati Raj establishments and urban local authorities.
• The plan includes a subsidy for creative rooftop solar projects and a payment security component for renewable energy service company (RESCO) models.
• Households will be able to reduce their electricity costs through this program and earn extra money by selling any excess power they generate to distribution firms.

There is a lot of prospects for solar energy. As a result, the use of this renewable energy source will become required rather than merely necessary, particularly in emerging nations with high power demand like India.
How the shift is being led by Enphase Energy: Our goal is to advance solar energy to the point where it can fully satisfy the world's energy needs. However, we never lose sight of the three guiding principles that have led us from the start: innovation, quality, and responsibility, as we strive toward our goal of a solar-powered globe.
